I would like to be able to create a simple layout design application
(somewhat similar to IB or OmniGraffle) with Palettes and a design surface
on to which I can drop objects and then move them around.

A couple of questions:

1. Do I have to use the drag and drop protocol in my custom view in order to
move objects just within the single view?

No, not for dragging within a single view. You can just override mouseDown, mouseDragged, etc. and take care of the display updating yourself.

2. When I select an object I would like resize handles to appear - is there
something in AppKit which will do this for me or do I have to work out a
mechanism myself?

Not as such, although you can get an idea of how to implement it by looking at the Sketch example project in the Developer folder.
